Remaking Harumi: A Fantasy In Technicolor
His name is Harumi, he’s from Japan, and he creates a psychedelic magical pop album that would eventually be heralded as everything from lost classic to hopelessly frazzled to holy grail among squares and psych-heads decades later.
He came from Japan to New York in 1967 to record an album, and disappeared. Did he remain in America to take part in the flower power movement? Could he have returned to Japan, sealing the fate on his obscurity by becoming a salaryman? Presumably, nobody outside his family knows.
He could be anywhere in the world. He could be dead. So I decided to create some artwork about him.
